This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 to fund research investigating gene regulatory network evolution across 13 species of roundworms. The fellowship award supports a postdoctoral researcher from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. The researcher will use single-cell sequencing to build molecular atlases of embryonic development for each roundworm species, comparing gene expression patterns across tissues and...
This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research by The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to investigate the genetic basis of chemosensory behavior in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. The project aims to understand how genetic diversity and environmental factors influence how C. elegans interacts with its surroundings, which is crucial for the animal's survival....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $350,000 to the University of Iowa to support research on the mechanisms involved in the propagation of chromosome fragments in the germline. The 3-year project aims to investigate how DNA breaks that occur during the formation of egg and sperm cells are stabilized and passed on to the next generation. The research will be conducted using the model organism C. elegans and will...
This $299,999 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to Duke University, supports research to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying a life-history tradeoff between growth and survival in the roundworm C. elegans. The research team will use experimental evolution, genetics, proteomics, and quantitative live imaging to study how the frequency and duration of larval starvation in different environmental niches shapes the evolution...
This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at North Carolina State University (NC State) to investigate the genetic and regulatory mechanisms underlying developmental evolution in marine annelid species. The project combines comparative genomics, gene expression, and hybridization assays to uncover the relationship between evolutionary divergence and development, with the goal of understanding how...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $138,000 supports genomic and behavioral research into the role of mate choice in biodiversity from June 2022 to May 2024. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award provides a postdoctoral fellowship to investigate genomic determinants of mate preferences in the marine worm Streblospio benedicti using genomics, molecular techniques, and behavioral assays. The fellow will explore how female preferences for males...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $501,772 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Missouri System (doing business as Missouri University of Science & Technology) for a 3-year research project from June 2024 to May 2027. The project aims to understand how pheromone signaling and the dauer diapause stage of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans influence population dynamics under varying environmental conditions. Specifically,...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, funds a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the genetic and environmental factors that influence segment addition in annelid worms. The $270,000 award, which runs from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028, will support research using the annelid species Capitella teleta to identify the genetic program responsible for segmentation and examine how resource availability...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $183,256 Project Grant to Portland State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) on June 1, 2022 for collaborative research concluding on July 31, 2023. The research aims to understand how nuclear and mitochondrial genomes contribute to adaptive evolution and discern the impact of sexual reproduction on this process using Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes. The researchers will determine the effect of sexual system on...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $935,010 Project Grant to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center to investigate the genetic mechanisms governing mating types and sexes in volvocine green algae. This 3-year research project, funded under NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to elucidate how the genetic systems controlling mating types in single-celled algae evolved into the dimorphic sexes seen in more complex...
